The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft. Know the truth.

There has long been enough evidence to indict and the slow release is intended to 1) further torment Epstein victims 2) get Americans used to child rape by elites 3) flaunt impunity, since there have been no meaningful consequences for perpetrators 4) arrive right when AI casts everything in doubt.

Democracy isn't automatic. It's something we have to fight for again and again. Apathy is how we'll lose it.

We hebben niet nóg meer analyses van Wilders nodig. Na 20 jaar weten we het wel. Ook vd Plas, Yesilgöz, Eerdmans etc. Hoeveel airtime en kolommen nog? Over minder dan een maand zijn er verkiezingen: waar zijn de vele interviews met Dibi? Ouwehand? De mediaobsessie met rechts ís de winst van rechts.

Trump's DOJ deleted a study about the rise of far right violence in America. Meanwhile, Trump baselessly smears so-called "far left" critics and threatens to unleash the government on them. Make no mistake: Trump's sole focus is suppressing dissent & consolidating more power.

This is Row and Mr Jingles. They look a little different and don't have much in common. But like all good friends, still find a way to see eye to eye. 13/10 for both #SeniorPupSaturday (courtesy Martin Critchlow)

The Palestine Football Association reports that 245 of its registered footballers have been killed by Israeli forces so far. 69 were under the age of 18. A further 180 coaches, referees and administrators have also been slaughtered.

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency. They are out of energy and they are starving to death. I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it. 🧵

This is brilliant. I bow down to whomever created this.

A huge proportion of climate solutions journalism is focused entirely on 'we promise this can be fixed without you having to change anything', and they'll accept wild, absurd and almost fraudulently misleading greenwashing uncritically so that message can be preserved (also see: the seaweed guy)

Yes. Folks, this is not a distraction. Any action that hurts millions of people can never be a distraction. Trump covers up crime with scandal. Deploying military forces on US soil to hurt innocent people isn’t a scandal. It’s a crime. Focus on the people getting hurt. That’s who matters most.

Column: nieuws daalt niet zomaar objectief uit den hemelen neder; nieuws is een beslissing. En de NOS maakt vaak keuzes die de status quo meer van pas komt dan de burger. En dat terwijl we juist nu eerlijke, activistische journalistiek nodig hebben. www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opin...

Mythe die as we speak aan het stollen is: dat Wilders wel een beetje gelijk heeft dat hij is tegengewerkt. Is niet zo! De andere partijen hebben hem geen strobreed in de weg gelegd. De enige grenzen waren rechtstatelijk en die horen er te zijn in een democratie 🙃

NEW 🧵 The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border. Story: www.ft.com/content/6dc1...

Now that’s a split-screen. ⛳️ @wsj.com

Liquidation Day #unrealmemories #tariff #trump Trump proudly launched his tariff plan, convinced he’d outsmarted the world. What followed was global market chaos, confused leaders, laughing elites, and monkeys doing math in the White House — Liquidation Day had begun.

The reason Trump has slapped tariffs on the entire world is not to protect American workers. What Trump cares about is being able to get concessions out of other countries and corporations that seek exemptions. It's all about his ability to hand out punishments and rewards.

Many caricatures capture Trump the moron. Few capture his evil as brilliantly as this. This has been shared a lot recently, but mostly without crediting the artist. The artist goes by the name of WeFail. Based in Manchester, UK, here’s a link to his incredible work 👉 wefail.art

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

"They want the country to collapse. A depopulated, partitioned US is easier to exploit and control. To them, the state is just something to sell. They do not care if the buyers are foreign or domestic." -- THEY KNEW (2022)

Targeting trans people, Black people, immigrants etc is not a “distraction” from fascism, it IS fascism. It lives in complementary relationship to destroying democracy, because democracy is inherently about participation of minorities.

Rana temporaria is the taxonomic name of the common frog. They're very, very common in Europe and parts of Asia. Except they have a way of determining sex which is (so far) very, very uncommon...
